Teenager had cuts on face and wrists, court hears

A garda has told a Central Criminal Court jury that a teenager who admits killing beautician Rachel Kiely (aged 22) at a park in Co Cork had a rugged cut across his face and scratches on his wrists, two days after her body was found.

The 22-year-old accused has denied murdering and raping Ms Kiely at the Regional Park in Ballincollig on October 26, 2000, when he was 16 years old, but pleaded guilty to her manslaughter at the start of the trial on Tuesday.
